摘要

The Betic Cordillera of southern Spain is a complex orogen formed in the context of convergence between Africa and Iberia from the Mesozoic to the present. The internal zone of the orogen includes three tectonic complexes, two of which have been subducted to high-pressure conditions, then exhumed back to the surface during subsequent extension. Subduction in the structurally lower complex, known as the Nevado-Filabride Complex (NFC), has been a topic of debate for several years due to conflicting geochronological data. Here we use multimineral isochron Rb-87/Sr-86 dating on carefully selected mineral samples from high-pressure metamorphic rocks in the NFC to better constrain the timing of high-pressure metamorphism and subduction in the region. Out of five samples analyzed, statistically valid multimineral isochrons were obtained for one eclogite and two schists, yielding ages of 20.11.1, 16.00.3, and 13.31.3 Ma, respectively. Despite that the other two eclogite samples appeared to preserve prograde mineral assemblages, low Rb-87/Sr-86 ratios in white mica precluded precise age calculations. These new ages are in close agreement with previously published Lu-Hf ages on garnet and U-Pb ages on metamorphic zircon overgrowths for the same rocks, but are substantially younger than published data from the Ar-40/Ar-39 technique. Combined with recently published tomographic images of slab structure beneath the Alboran Sea, the new ages support a tectonic model in which subduction occurred both prior to the Miocene and during the early to mid-Miocene, but that it was punctuated in time by a pulse of extensional exhumation in the early Miocene associated with lithospheric delamination and/or slab tearing.
